  • 169
  • 278
  • 396
  • 4Cannot be determined
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
Let the ten's digit be x and unit's digit be y.
Then, x + y = 15 and x - y = 3   or   y - x = 3.
Solving x + y = 15   and   x - y = 3, we get: x = 9, y = 6.
Solving x + y = 15   and   y - x = 3, we get: x = 6, y = 9.
So, the number is either 96 or 69.
Hence, the number cannot be determined.
